Nanostructuring transition metal dichalcogenides via non-covalent and covalent molecular functionalization KU Leuven
Graphene is a two-dimensional material that exists of a single layer of carbon atoms. It relates to the natural material, graphite, that is composed of a huge number of stacked graphene layers, just like a phone book consists of a stack of pages. However, the electrical properties of a single graphene layer differ a lot from those of graphite. This insight gave rise to the birth of the so-called two dimensional materials, or 2D materials. ...

English title L-SCAN: Linking surfaces, coatings, and nanostructures. Ghent University
We currently live in an exciting and stimulating period where artificial materials are produced with atom-by-atom control in order to achieve unique sets of desired properties. Advanced characterization techniques are indispensable for an efficient optimization of material synthesis procedures and to obtain surfaces, coatings and nanostructures with an improved functionality for a targeted application such as catalysis, batteries, ...
